Poly Network: 57 types of assets on 10 blockchains affected by hacker attack, advises project parties to withdraw liquidity as soon as possible

ChainCatcher news, the cross-chain interoperability protocol Poly Network tweeted that its services will continue to be suspended and is urging cybersecurity professionals to provide expert assistance. The attack has affected 57 types of assets across 10 blockchains, including Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Avalanche, Fantom, Optimism, Arbitrum, Gnosis, Heco, OKX, and others.

Poly Network stated that it has communicated with CEX and law enforcement agencies to seek assistance, hoping to collaborate with the attackers to return user assets and avoid potential legal consequences. Meanwhile, to minimize further risks, Poly Network has contacted most project teams, urging them to withdraw liquidity from DEX and advising users holding affected assets to withdraw liquidity and unlock their LP tokens as soon as possible.

It is reported that on July 2, Poly Network was attacked by hackers who minted over $34 billion in assets across multiple chains. PeckShield monitoring shows that the attackers have transferred over $5 million in cryptocurrency on Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Polygon, including transferring 1,500 ETH (approximately $2.88 million) to the 0x23f4 address, 440 ETH (approximately $844,000) to the 0xc8Ab address, and 300 ETH (approximately $575,000) to the 0xfD3E address.
